The Lion King saw Lancelot approaching and, without saying a word, went straight to meet him. The two quickly clashed.
"So."
As Maen cast shields on the three newly arrived Servants, he looked at Iskandar and Angolan Maneuver.
Are you ready to be ganged up on by justice?
If he can avoid direct confrontation, he will definitely play it safe; Marx and Engels always keep their word!
Even if it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, they'd rather gang up on each other than fight one-on-one!
How did they manage to do that?
That was naturally a preparation made in advance by Marx and Engels.
Because they didn't know what they would encounter while scouting this area, Maren deliberately didn't let Nero come along, so that if necessary, Nero could call for reinforcements.
Before setting off, Maren gave Nero a teleportation crystal, which allowed him to teleport people to his side by providing his coordinates with a Command Spell.
You think he's going in alone? Playing the lone hero?
Do not!
His attack was like an airdrop into the enemy ranks, hitting the center of the field!
Upon discovering the infighting among the enemy, Marne had already contacted Nero via the magical communication of Command Spells, instructing her to prepare.
The goal, of course, is to take the opportunity to catch the opponent off guard. This could very well turn into the final battle. Mar and Eng would certainly not let such a good opportunity slip by.
Iskandar's face darkened again: "You actually brought all the Servants here? Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of the city's weak defenses and launch an attack?"
Ma En continued to mock, "You can try it and see if Fuyuki's defenses are truly empty."
Then, without further ado, he said, "Go! Leave the manpower to me! I'll take them down!"
His magic circuits lit up again, and a vast amount of magic power flowed from the connected spiritual veins through his circuits, being channeled into the four Servants.
Nero had just helped him obtain a temporary contract between the Lion King and Mordred, and now he was supplying the magic power of the four Servants.
This did not burden Marne, because this was the location of a spiritual vein, and the concentration of magic in the air was so high that even some magicians with fewer circuits had difficulty breathing.
But for Marne, this was actually a perfect fit, as over 97% of his previously unused magic circuits could finally come into play.
Right now, Marn is like a giant magical furnace, frantically absorbing the magical energy in the surrounding atmosphere. He could supply not only four Servants, but also a dozen or twenty more without any problem.
"oh oh!!!!"
As a massive surge of magical power entered his body, Mordred was the first to become excited. He shouted with high spirits and unleashed his magic without hesitation. Crimson lightning coiled around him, and in a flash, he was already in front of Iskandar, violently slashing down with his greatsword.
Iskandar hurriedly raised his sword to parry, but the immense force still shattered the ground beneath his feet.
Nero and Gilgamesh were not idle either, each finding their own opponents.
Nero, however, supported the Lion King and faced Lancelot. The amplified magic cannon was so powerful that it instantly injured Lancelot, who was already only able to fight the Lion King to a draw.
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh faced off against the shadowy figure Angra Mainyu alone, relentlessly unleashing ranged attacks with her Noble Phantasms, forcing him to flee in a sorry state.
Equally fierce, the battle had barely begun when Ma En's side immediately suppressed the enemies on both sides.
"Damn it! Was everything part of your plan again?!"
While struggling to counter Mordred's relentless attacks, Iskandar tried to contact his own army.
But the response came from the midst of the battle. Without a doubt, it was another trick by that cunning Maren.
And that was indeed the case. Marne would certainly not disregard Fuyuki's safety; there was probably a great deal of gunfire going on over there right now.
Just as they decided to send Nero and two other Servants to provide support, Maen, through Nero, had Aozaki Touko take over the defense line and arrange for the battle to begin, using the cannons he had left behind to attack the stationed corrupted army.
The goal was naturally to hold back the corrupted army, and at the very least, to prevent Iskandar from resorting to desperate measures and using Fuyuki as a 'hostage' to threaten them.
"It seems you've come to understand the current situation, Iskandar."
Seeing his exasperated appearance, Ma En realized that the other party knew about the situation in Fuyuki, so he immediately drew his sword and rushed towards... Lancelot's side!
They just start a group fight like that?! Do they think I'm joking?!
...Please subscribe, give flowers, and votes...
Chapter 104 The Real Old Schemer, The Fake Copy of All Things!
With Marne's arrival, the situation on this side is now very clear.
Lancelot, who was already unable to use his abilities due to his berserk state, quickly met his end once again.
Maren seized an opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when Maren was stunned, and used the 'Symbol of the Laws of All Things' he had constructed to pierce through the spirit core with a single strike, causing the spirit core to shatter and returning him to the Hall of Heroes on the spot, with no possibility of resurrection.
(Lancelot: What have I done to deserve this?! You bunch of perverts ganged up on me?!)
After dealing with Lancelot, Marne led his team to raid Angolan Mainyu.
This guy is also important. If we take him down, the curse that transforms the undead will disappear, and then the Mage's Association's support team will be able to focus all their efforts on Fuyuki's defense.
In this way, Marne no longer needs to worry about the artillery not holding off the corrupted army long enough, and can focus on dealing with the Iskandar problem.
Iskandar was also anxious, because once Ma'en and his men dealt with Angolan Manu, it goes without saying that they would then gang up on him.
"Damn it! Far away, I'll crush and dominate! (ViaExpugnati~o)"
A burst of light appeared, accompanied by the sounds of hooves and wheels amidst lightning and thunder. The Thunder Bull with Flying Hoof appeared, dragging its divine wheels, and with terrifying lightning, it smashed into Mord-Red, who was unable to dodge in time.
And its momentum did not diminish, lightning flashed, and with a world-destroying power, it attacked Marne.
Clearly, Iskandar could also see that Ma'en was the core of this group, and that if Ma'en was taken down, everything could still be salvaged.
"Danger!"
The incident happened so suddenly that the four people on the other side were caught off guard. Just as Ma En was preparing to build a shelter to defend himself, a figure blocked his way.
"No!" Ma En's heart tightened as he saw the figure blocking his way. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
The lightning blinded him and also swallowed the figure within it.
Boom! ! !
After a loud bang, everyone froze, staring at the scorched earth billowing thick smoke.
"Nero!" En rushed over in a panic.
That's right, the one who suddenly appeared and took that blow for Marne was none other than Nero, who was the most concerned about Marne among the four Servants present.
Before Marne even arrived, Nero's calm voice rang out from the thick smoke.
"Well, performer, there's no need to be so nervous. With your protection, I won't die so easily."
As the thick smoke dissipated, Nero held off the bull's charge with his sword, his body glowing with golden light, completely unharmed, though several layers of his shield had been removed.
"Phew!" En breathed a sigh of relief. He had really scared him just now, but he forgot that everyone had a shield on them.
However, Ma En couldn't help but complain angrily: "What are you doing! I can handle this on my own, why did you suddenly interfere! You disrupted my rhythm and startled me."
He was more than just startled; he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.
If anything were to happen to Nero, he wouldn't know what to do, but he would definitely feel guilty.
"Oh~" Lu scratched his head awkwardly: "It was just subconscious, I rushed over when I got nervous."
"You! Really..." En was still furious, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, Nero was worried about him, but his concern clouded his judgment.
"I'm saying, doesn't anyone care about me at all?"
Mordred, who was the first to be knocked away, walked back with a resentful look on his face.
Watching the two of them showing off their affection, she felt like an outsider.
She was the first one to get hurt, so why didn't anyone worry about her at all?
What? You don't welcome me, do you? Then I'll leave?
The Lion King glanced at her indifferently: "Aren't you quite energetic? Instead of complaining, you should hurry up and deal with the enemy."
Mordred felt guilty and shrank back when he was swept by the parent's gaze. He didn't dare to get involved in the matter anymore and looked at Iskandar.
"Damn it! How dare you launch a sneak attack! I'll chop you up!"
With that shout, Mordred charged forward again and engaged Iskandar in combat.
It has to be said that Iskandar, after being enhanced by the Holy Grail, is really strong.
Not only did she break through dozens of layers of Marne's shields with a single Noble Phantasm, but she could also fight on par with Mordred, who was in a Magic Release state and was a Saber-class character, even in her normal state. In terms of elemental strength alone, she was much stronger than before.
While Mordred was keeping Iskandar occupied, Mann rallied and launched another attack on Angolan Maneuver.
However, although Angolan Mainyu is jokingly called the weakest Servant, he is not without his tricks.
By changing its form and increasing its speed, it managed to withstand the relentless bombardment of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.
···
However, after Marne arrived with Nero and the Lion King, it meant that he had nowhere to hide and his life was beginning its countdown.
Nero, in coordination with Gilgamesh, used a combination of magical cannons and Noble Phantasms to further block his path of movement and drive him toward Marne and the Lion King.
When Angra Mainyu approached, the Lion King immediately engaged him in combat, while Ma En waited for an opportunity.
Nero and Gilgamesh also switched to melee mode. Nero was still wielding the greatsword "Meteorite Sword", while Gilgamesh, true to the Gilgamesh series tradition, pulled out a golden axe.
As expected of the Axe King of Uruk!
The three formed a triangular formation to protect the Lion King, occasionally seizing opportunities to launch surprise attacks on Angolan Mainyu.
.. ..
However, Angra Mainyu's ability is also slippery. It seems to be a skill called "Forgetfulness Correction". When he changes form, he may make people forget his existence for a moment. It is very troublesome. The Lion King almost suffered a loss.
However, with the three of them holding the line, he couldn't let everyone forget his words, otherwise they wouldn't be able to launch a sneak attack or escape.
"good chance!"
During the clash between Angolan Mainyu and the Lion King, he was suddenly jolted into a daze and flew backwards with his back to Marne.
Marne's eyes lit up, and he drew his knife and thrust forward.
Poof~!
The long knife pierced through Angolan Manuel's heart.
